33.0/17.0-15 Drag Slick

The Goodyear 33.0/17.0-15 Drag Slick (SKU GDYD3153) is a purpose-built bias-ply drag racing tire engineered for straight-line acceleration on dedicated dragway surfaces. This 33-inch diameter, 17-inch width tire delivers the specialized grip and compound consistency required for consistent quarter-mile performance, featuring Goodyear's proven D-4A compound formulation designed specifically for drag competition.

The bias-ply construction and stiff sidewall design minimize deflection during weight transfer, maintaining consistent tire patch geometry through the launch phase when traction is most critical. The 15-inch rim diameter (33.0/17.0-15 sizing) is standard for dedicated drag racing platforms, and the yellow letter sidewall provides the classic dragway aesthetic while serving as a wear indicator. At 44.4 lbs per tire, weight is factored into total vehicle mass for ET calculations and launch tuning.

This tire is intended for serious drag racing competitors and bracket racers who run dedicated competition vehicles on NHRA-sanctioned or local dragway surfaces. The D-4A compound and bias-ply construction are optimized for the unique demands of straight-line acceleration—not street driving, highway use, or general-purpose driving. Each tire is sold individually, allowing builders to match sets or replace worn units as competition demands.

Drag slick tires differ fundamentally from street performance or all-season tires in compound hardness, sidewall stiffness, and tread pattern. The Goodyear Eagle Dragway Special designation reflects decades of manufacturer experience in drag racing tire development. Proper tire pressure, vehicle setup, and surface preparation are critical to extracting consistent performance and managing tire wear across multiple passes.
